Wesley Snipes' wife wants justice for her man.

An insider has forwarded us a copy of an impassioned and angry six-page letter that the "Blade" actor's wife Nikki Snipes (née Park) sent to friends and ****** over the holiday weekend in which she writes that her husband, who is facing three years of prison stemming from three misdemeanor tax convictions, has been "wronged in a way that i thought only existed in the movies."

A U.S. District Court judge has ordered Snipes to begin serving his sentence over his three 2008 convictions for willfully failing to file tax returns, though the actor's attorneys reportedly have asked for his bail to be extended as he prepares for a possible appeal of his conviction.

After writing in the letter that her "warrior husband is still standing strong," Nikki explains she's reaching out "for the sake of our five wonderful ********'s future" and for "my man's integrity and dignity," which, she alleges, have been "destroyed" by the "government" and "the media."

Indeed, after reviewing the case, Nikki contends it's "more than obvious that the government has been *******" its power to make an example of her famous husband for "a crime he NEVER committed." She also accuses the media of playing "a HUGE part in the government's propoganda to make his case appear as a tax fraud crime scheme."

Nikki insists her husband is "NOT a tax-evading criminal," but an "honorable man" and "an artist who simply needs an honest accountant."

"Please feel free to share the truth if you happen to come across misinformed people," she concludes, although neither she nor Wesley Snipes' manager David Schiff responded to our emails requesting comment by deadline.
